Katy Perry's new single 'Roar': What we know so far

Given she has rarely missed the mark with her single releases and her last album Teenage Dream was a global success, the idea of fresh music from the star is exciting us quite a lot.

To keep you up to speed, here's everything we know so far about her new track.

It's produced by Dr Luke and Max Martin, who were behind most of the Teenage Dream singles (except 'Firework').

But fear not! It's probably not going to sound like a retread of her previous efforts, if this teaser of her burning that blue wig she wore during her last album that we had a strong love-hate relationship with is anything to go by.

In fact, it almost certainly won't sound like anything from Teenage Dream, given how delighted she looks to be at its funeral here:

McKee also recently described Perry's new music as "a little bit more grown-up" and "definitely different" to what we've heard from her before. We're assuming this means she's out with the sugary-pop melodies and in with the darker, doom-pop ones.

That's about it really. The song will be out in full on August 12, which gives Katy another six days to tease us endlessly with more details of the track. Hurrah. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for that golden truck.
